About Wuk's strength [Ending spoilers]

[IvoryHawk]

Estinien was even having a hard time to equal fighting Gulool with one head, so yeah her power level is cracked for no reason other than the power of PEACE and UNDERSTANDING culture

[Gullis]

Wuk was the real wol all along, we have just been feeding on powers since ARR

[Kranel_San]

I'm not really a fan of using Dynamis as a reason for why someone is suddenly unstoppable. I feel it will lead to very lazy writing.

You feel it will lead? You feel???

It IS the very lazy writing!

She got temporary "shonen main character" powers. We've used it plenty of times, somebody else got a turn this time.

Don't worry, by 8.0 she'll have gone the same way as Aymeric, Hien, Lyse, Ryne, and every other character who was important for one expac and then only ever shows up when we have some reason to go back there for a few cut scenes. (Semi-related, it occurs to me that I don't remember Hien having a single voiced line since Stormblood. Huh.)

She got temporary "shonen main character" powers.

And all it took was:
Getting scammed by the pelupelu for a saddle.
Aerating crops for some lazy green vanu.
Making some tacos.
Fighting a shade of papa.
Having her people genocided by her crackhead brother (that krile could tell was getting more and more evil but didn't say anything whenever she murmured).

Perhaps it's because Zodiark and Hydaelyn are dead now, and the End Of Days came and past. Remember, Zodiark and Hydaelyn (or just Zodiark), created and maintained a "shield" of Eather around The Source and all it's shards. The shield stopped, or at least severely stifled Dynamis's effect on people. Hence why the delay of The End Of Days back in the Acsians time. Now that the shield is gone, we may be seeing an effect of that. That effect being there are now more "special people" who are more attuned to Dynamis than others. Perhaps now, more than just the WoL and and few choice others are able to tap into Dynamis. We're not so "super special" anymore, others are on the rise now as well. Plsu, The End Of Days happened, perhaps there are people who were on the verge of turning into monsters. Dynamis swelled in their bodies, and they came close, but we stopped the End Of Days just in time. Now however, their bodies after getting so close to turning, are more "attuned to" and can channel Dynamis more easily.

I see Bakool Ja Ja and Zoraal Ja being cited, and perhaps they just weren't able to tap into Dynamis like Wuk Lemat is able to. She's special and can, they can not. Not to say they are weak, they are powerful in their own right, they just can't tap into Dynamis like she can. Dynamis makes perfect sense in my head from a Lore Wise perspective, and the reason why Wuk Lemat can channel it better after getting her resolve boosted by the events of Dawntrail. Now that's not to say we're being sidelined as a WoL. We're still far more powerful, because remember, we have more than one extra part of our Ancient's soul fragments within us. We are Ayzema, with more "shards" of our Ancient's soul. We also have his crystal.

We're still the most powerful "main character", we're just starting to meet other powerful people.

We've done innumerable fetch/collect 20 bear asses/chain of deals quests, completed tons of menial labors, made food and drinks and other amenities (even leaving out culinarian quests), fought friends, and watched obvious villains beat on, betray, and murder our friends and allies, too. Sounds like she's following in our footsteps, she just got the speed run version because she likely won't matter after this expac.

[Ghuval]

The more Wuk talks, the stronger she gets.

Dear god. She's unstoppable.

[Balmung_Griffin]

Snip

I'm sorry, but no. It felt like it came straight from a Hildibrand Quest Manderville shenanigans.

Didn't seem like it really. Wuk Lamat seems to beat us in Dynamis if her damage is any indication.

At the end of the day no matter the explanation it doesn't make sense.
Why should she be so special to tap into this much Dynamis power and no other?
Why did she grow so immense powerful? There is actually nothing special about her in lore. She is just a normal girl that learned to fight a bit from her dad.
Even the other scions are not this strong and those are veterans.

I really wish Yoshida and co are sweating right now in their seats and writing an explanation for this mess for the next live letter. But they will probably ignore it as always.

Furry power let's go I guess...
